Nice to see Mr Fox on this website - especially this song, the title track of their second and final album and the best thing they ever did.
They really were the forgotton band of early British folk rock (along with Trees). Everybody remembers Steeleye and Fairport but very few remember the wild north-of-England semi acoustic sound of Mr Fox. Live, they were unpredictable. Occasionally they were terrible, but on the majority of nights they were mind-bogglingly good. They were probably the scariest folk band ever to stalk a stage. Most of their songs were spooky in the extreme and their style of playing suited the material to a T.
